New world has come along way from its initial release and has turned out to be one of my favorite MMORPG games of this year! I love the story line and how they immediately make you step into an immersive universe where you are the star in your own adventure. They allow you to use any weapon of your choosing no matter the class you pick from the start of your character customization! The open world is there for you but with a guided questing system that allows you to stay fully connected with the main story if you so choose. Graphics are a 10/10 for me and i often find myself lingering to enjoy the atmosphere. I want my friends to know that i am very picky when it comes to my mmorpg's as, I want to have a very balanced game in all directions.

other than those two little bumps I find that this is a fantastic game and encourage my friends to play this! it is worth the money for the content that you receive.

When this game initially released decided to wait for more content to come out. After this latest update I decided to take the plunge and buy the game. I was glad that i did because i have put a few days into this game and unlocked about half of the features with my expectations being met. The design elements in this game are really fun to use, from the terrain to the buildings and the feeling of recruiting and being connected to your town's citizens. This game give you more quality content than most games do in their early access and I have seen some things that have thoroughly impressed me. If you pick up leaf piles in the seasons you can unlock special items and terrain. For example, in spring there are cherry blossom piles on the ground that will reward you with cherry blossom terrain, trees and in Halloween there are autumn collectables . I also found that there are hidden area's to explore for future updated content which has me super excited!

So if you are looking for a Game that has

~ Go at your own pace
~ Open Building and Terrain design
~ Simulation and open exploration
~ Crafting and Town Management
~ Upgrade Rewards and Challenges for continued Game play and town level up rewards
~ Awesome upbeat music that inspires and energizes you
~ Leave in the background running
~ Town trasportation With a twist of different vehicles

Than this game is going to be perfect for you! I give this game have 10 out of 10 for early access and encourage all of my friends to buy this game as you won't be disappointed and will actually feel like you are getting your money's worth.

This is one of the best planet creator and simulator games of our time! I have poured hours into this game and find it to be a great challenge that you can either choose chill mode or survival mode. I love Chill mode because there is no penalty for deaths and it allows me to teleport instantly home. at the beginning there is a starter pod which gives you a basic crafting station and a chest full of supplies. My advice .. is do not build your starter room where that is located because when you hit the lakes and water stage on the planet your starter area will turn into a lake. I would build it above that on the hill. Other than that everything is pretty explanatory. Your goal is to build the planet from a barren waste land into a thriving Oasis! I find this game very relaxing and a wonderful immersive escape from reality. If you love games that allows you to turn your brain off and admire your work, but still offer a challenge than this game is perfect for you. The graphics are gorgeous and the A.i Is wonderfully done. I would highly recommend you buy this game above all other planet builder's available at the moment on the market!

This game is like playing university or the hospital builder, only with aliens and different species that are fully integrated into your game play. in my opinion the random events and additions to this game make it unique among the other titles in the management and simulation drama. there is tons of customization objects, rewards, currency and a funny witty, commentation which has had me playing all day! I would buy this game over again because i have 9 hours of play time and have beaten up to level 2 and am seeing more content the more that i beat.

I have beaten and played farm together 1 and I would would like to say firstly that this game is in itself meant to be the first game shell but better. I am glad that they stuck with the original frame work and in my opinion was nice or the nostalgic future representation of the franchise. I am going to point out the pro's, con's and difference between the first and second farm together.

Pro's and good changes:

1. (The tractor) gas slowly refills in farm 2, which I Love and in the first farm was annoying to keep filling constantly. Although I do love that they give you the option to still have that function, with a place-able gas tank on your farm and the ability to upgrade your tractor to increase the capacity of your gas tank. These two features are new to farm 2. I also love the faster harvest and reaction time of the tractor, when harvesting your crops and animals.

2. (Farming town) I Love the concept of the town as there are actual NPC's that run around giving you little quests to full-fill and are not repetitive which allows you to enjoy talking to them each day. The quests give you every type of currency in the game. I love the ability to place shops in the town at your disposal for decorative purposes of course and I can't wait to see what they will be adding in the future to this area. being able to place these shops in a town seems more natural to me , where as in the first farm together you would have to place all these odd looking and out of place shops on your farm. This is a big Pro for me and i am extremely happy for this feature to be implemented as a whole. Another feature new to this farm 2 version is the ability to upgrade your shops in town to not only add more storage space for your harvests, but also adds growth, realism and activity to the game. In my opinion this town can hopefully develop into a thriving ecosystem.

3.(character customization) Farm 1 had great customization but, the one thing it did not have is color swatch ability. this is a new feature in farm 2 that i really adore as it allows you to choose more skin color and hairstyle pallets.

4.(Animals) A BIG PRO FOR ME IN FARM 2, is that the animals use your crops to feed them! This is a huge improvement to the game, as in farm 1 you would have to just use your gold and you would end up being broke from the amount it would take to constantly refill your animal's food. Now you use wheat and vegetables that you grow on your farm to refill the animal food and it not only more realistic, but allows you the ability to have more animals on your farm. I also noticed that the animals sleep at night which is super cute and again adding depth and realism to that farm we love!

5.(Terrain tool) This was the number one feature requested in the 1'st Farm together and I am so glad they added this to farm together 2. I Do agree that they should have this tool available at the start of your game, so people do not have to re terra-form their whole farm.


*Cons and things I would like to see added in the future development

1. (Terrain tool) This tool needs to be available from the start of the game for use.

2.(Early access) I do agree that there needs to be more added to the game as far as the items and building that are available for early access. since this is still the same shell main frame from farm together 1, it should be no issue adding some of the animals already in the farm together 1 game. I understand that you are adding new features to the existing content that was available in the first game and it could be a potential reason to deny users an abundance of content.

3. (Player Houses) The houses seem to be exactly the same as farm 1 and i was disappointed to see this. I was hoping that there would at least be functionality to the furniture, like usable wardrobes to change your outfits, or Maybe events like throwing a party to invite other farmers to your house. Maybe a cool functional storage. or sleeping in your bed to change to the next season.


*Things I hope to see added in future development*

1. Swim-able water for our fish and ocean ponds and maybe usable fishing boats.

2. the ability to do more with our pets, such as brushing them and cleaning poop out of their stall's and pens that maybe we can use as fertilizer for our crops.

3.housing system needs a severe upgrade and i would like to see house party event's where you can have a bake sale and offer people cooking goods, or crops that you harvest for trade.

4. A multiplayer trading market, where you can add a stand to your farm or in their house to give them more functionality where we can trade crops. I would love to have an animal and Recipe trade market stall as well, where players can trade recipes such as furniture, animals, recipes and crops.

5. Town Npc integration and relationships. I would love to be able to get to know these Npc's like their favorite crops and be able to gift them. I would love to see the return of the timed game events in this new version , only add town events as well. The town events could host items and recipes that are only obtainable through these town events. They could be holiday based and season based.

6. cooking recipes should be obtained through quests and seasonal events to make the recipes new and not repetitive. maybe we could make them trade able through a player market. This could also be used in the painting and music as well.

7. Pets are hopefully going to be added to this version and i would like to see the ability to ask my pet to go on a treasure hunt for a certain amount of time. Maybe they could bring back treasures that they find, such as crops, special recipes, or secret notes like a message in a bottle that other players could use.

8. The crops are very basic and i am hoping to see magical crops that take special ingredients to tend to.

9. Town boats that can be used to travel to different islands to find rare tree's,objects,crops, recipes and maybe meet some cool new towns people to recruit yo your town as farm hands for the future update? I see the boats when you visit the town and think this would be a fantastic way to add some cool depth to the game.

That is my take on this Early access version and Overall I would say that I like the direction the game is going. For those of you who are looking for a full fleshed out game, I would advise you to wait on purchasing this until a few more content updates are pushed through. If you are looking to follow the games progression through the early access and are a long time player from the first one, than this game is going to be fun to watch progress. especially due to when the game leaves early access it will be much more expensive to purchase.

This game is Very addictive! It reminds me of when i was in middle school and high school and sticker collecting machines were all the rage. I had a sticker book and would spend my quarters to get the holographic stickers and would even trade them with class mates. This game basically gives you nostalgic memories with a twist of modern by allowing you to own a sticker shop! It allows you tons of stickers, wrapping and you can even add treats to your orders. The thing i love most about the game and sticker creation is that you get different sticker types, like glitter and holographic sticker types. They have many other types of materials you can put together and i can't wait to see all of the wonderful DLC that they are able to come up with! It does allow you to share and port your self made stickers to your computer , but the quality is not as good as it should be. That would be my only suggestion to the developers, is to add different port and format options for porting your stickers to your computer. Also you should not have a water mark your stickers because you are creating them through a game that you spent your money on. Other than that i think this is a fabulous game and encourage all my friends to sink their creativity into this game and give it a try!

I have played this game and enjoyed exploring the world and taming the creatures. I have unlocked all possible blue prints,explored the whole map and I have to say that after 6 hours of game play, that I started to get bored and the game becomes repetitive. The Boss dungeons are not scaled to your player levels and can not be completed even after unlocking the best animals.I do not believe you should have your first quest boss dungeon be as difficult as it is, when you are learning the mechanics and to completely get pummeled in seconds. this whole system needs a work around in my opinion. I Do not recommend buying this game at its current state of game play, as it needs serious content and bug fix updates. I had really high hopes for this game and I am so disappointed at the limited content available to play. You can't even sit or use the furniture you unlock for your house and when placing your base pylon you get such little space to build on that it is cringe worthy. They basically give you a little circle and that is what they make u cramp all these huge quest based objective furniture. The animals are cute, but that is the only good feature at this moment. I understand it is early access but for the amount of time they took to build this game, I would have expected so much more for the price point. I would wait to get this game on sale if you are considering purchasing it. I am not saying it is a bad game, but that there are too many frustrating qualities at this point of early access for me to personally recommend it to any of my friends.

I am pleasantly surprised by how much time put into this game! The graphics, mechanics, and dialog are a 10/10 for me and for an early access game, I experienced zero bugs. I will say that the mechanics are easy enough to understand and explain to kid through adult age range. I will say that i have unlocked all of the possible features of the game in just 8 hours of playtime, so if you are looking for a long term game right now, than i would wait to purchase after early access and follow the road maps, because once you unlock all that is allowed it becomes just you staring at your little creation. I am a bit disappointed in the fairy tale aspect of the game and would have really liked to have seen little dungeons your hero could have gone in to obtain more than just one item of loot. especially since the fairy tale rabbit holes are a one time use and they disappear off of your map for good. The only one that sticks is the giant bean stock which is cool to look at but serves no purpose after the one time use. I really loved decorating with all of the decor objects and spent most of my time after beating the game to the point i could no longer advance until they update the game. So In my opinion This game is a very nice demo version for what is to come for this games future. If you are looking to grow with a game in early access than this will be a fantastic purchase for you. If you have high expectations of the game and what you think should be a finished version, than i would wait, watch and follow the road maps to get the game when you feel confident in the features.

I love this game and think is such a cute time waster and stress reliever! There is so many cute mysteries to discover in each level you play and there are many different view points that you can switch too, to enjoy the atmosphere. I hope to see some more Biomes in the future and am excited to see what they add in the future patches of the game. My favorite feature is that the ducks all make different noises and also do special interactive things to the other ducks around them, or will react to the environment they are in. If you are looking for a game to simply just exist in your space and enjoy good vibes for a good price point, than this is a perfect game for you!

I was really excited about the concept of this game and have really played several hours of it, while they have updated and patched the fixes and new content. The game is simply to complicated to enjoy the building and simulation aspects. the controls and tutorials are lacking and only give you written explanation and not directly showing you how to do things, which makes trying to even get passed your first day of your shelter building a chore! By the time you get everything basic up and running it is day 4 and the zombies have already broken thru your little wooden barrier and well, frankly it is infuriating to take that much concentration, just to get started. I can not recommend this game to any of my friends in it's current state. The graphics are severely lacking in quality and there just are not enough options to make the game enjoyable. I hope in the future of this game that they can update some of the stuff plaguing this games success.
